We Help Companies Benefit from Improved Communication and Speech

Clear Communication is Key for Healthcare and Medical Professionals

Healthcare workers who lack listening skills or speak or communicate in a manner that does not elicit trust and evoke competence, negatively impact the patient, the hospital, and their own professional credibility. The inability to project the voice; speaking at a rate that is too fast, too slow; in a volume that is too soft or too loud, or any other vocal habit that detracts from communication, can all be factors that negatively affect the health-care worker-patient relationship. These same skills are important within the organization, as head residents, team leaders, and others in positions of authority help set the professional and communicative tone of a setting.

Specialties include learning disabilities or delays, language delays, articulation disorders, auditory processing issues, attention deficits, executive functioning skills, reading and writing difficulties, test preparation, and study skills.

Speech and Communication Improvement for Native English Speakers

Do you feel your voice and speaking manner are truly representing who you are, or whom you know you can
be? If not, do something about it!

Vocal presence is the state where your words, facial expressions, body language, tone of voice, emotions,
imagination, and spirit are all fully engaged and congruent in conveying your message. You don't have one voice; you have many.
